Something seems to have affected him. He is a different person these days with the media than he was even three years ago and he doesn't seem to get any enjoyment out of football.

I expect his father, a football man, was a person he could talk to privately and bounce ideas off and probably advised him when he was off the mark, keeping him focused.

For someone who had such an affinity with us to be virtually despised by some now is sad to see. I felt he contributed to his own downfall on his second stint, but get no pleasure in seeing the man struggling now.
